Musk’s net worth crosses 750 billion dollars: The first person in the world to have this much wealth; This is equal to the total wealth of the top 40 rich people of India.

The wealth of the world’s richest person Elon Musk has crossed $ 750 billion (₹ 67.18 lakh crore). Musk has become the first person in the world to touch this figure of net worth. Earlier on December 16, Musk’s wealth had reached Rs 600 billion (USD 54 lakh crore).

The increase came on the heels of a Delaware Supreme Court ruling that increased Musk’s $56 billion Tesla pay package to $139 billion. Musk’s net worth currently appears at $649 billion in the Forbes Billionaires Index. This is equal to the total wealth of the top 40 richest people of India.

Along with this, Musk’s wealth is more than the total wealth of the world’s richest tech billionaires coming after him (Larry Page 252.6 billion, Larry Ellison 242.7 billion, Jeff Bezos 239.4 billion).

Three big reasons for increasing wealth of Elon Musk

1. Tesla’s $56 billion pay package to be restored In 2018, Tesla gave Musk a stock option package worth $56 billion. The lower court canceled it in 2024, but the Delaware Supreme Court reinstated it in December 2025. Now this package becomes worth Rs 139 billion. This brought the biggest jump in Musk’s wealth and crossed $700 billion for the first time.

2. SpaceX’s valuation to reach $800 billion According to Reuters, the total valuation of SpaceX has come to $800 billion due to the sale of shares within the company. Musk owns about 42% stake in SpaceX. If the company lists on the US stock market at a valuation of $800 billion, the value of Musk’s stake alone could increase by more than $336 billion.

3. Tesla share price and new $1 trillion pay package The rise in Tesla share price and Musk’s $1 trillion pay package approval by shareholders in November 2025 also boosted wealth. More than $340 billion was added to Musk’s wealth in 2025. He has a 12% stake in Tesla, which directly increases his wealth due to increase in share price.

Tesla and xAI also increased Musk’s wealth

• Tesla: Apart from SpaceX, Musk also has about 12% stake in EV company Tesla. Tesla shares have risen 13% so far in 2025. Tesla shares were also up about 4% on Monday, after Musk said the company was testing a robotaxi without a safety monitor in the front passenger seat. Musk’s stake in Tesla is now worth about $197 billion.
• xAI: His artificial intelligence startup xAI is also in advanced stages of talks to raise $15 billion of fresh equity at a valuation of $230 billion.

Musk made and sold video games at the age of 12 Elon Musk is the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX. Musk learned computer programming at the age of 10 and created a video game called ‘Blaster’ at the age of 12. A local magazine bought it from him for five hundred US dollars.

In 1995, he founded the web software company Zip-2. Compaq bought this company in 1999 for $307 million. From this deal, Musk received $22 million in exchange for 7% stake in the company. This is where Elon Musk’s business really started.

eBay bought PayPal in 2002 Musk created PayPal in 1999. eBay bought it in 2002 for $1.5 billion. Musk earned $180 million from this deal. Musk founded SpaceX soon after. Through this company, Musk wants to make humanity a multi-planet species by establishing a colony on Mars.
